Nice post. A few interesting facts about Holy Orthodoxy in the British Isles:

The Russian Synod (and perhaps the Serbs) commemorate St. Harold, Last Orthodox King of England, and his companions who died at Hastings as a martyr.

Walsingham, the site of the principal Marian shrine in England is now largely an Orthodox town (!!).

Of course this year, the more important Forgiveness Sunday happens (for New Calendar Orthodox) to coincide with the feast of St. Patrick, Enlightener of Ireland.

If I have in any way offended you, my brothers and sisters, forgive me. (A 'virtual' Forgiveness Vespers is a new tradition on many Orthodox discussion sites.)

March 17th bump!

I have noticed a movement among Protestants who have a tradition of looking for authenticity in Christian doctrine who are stumbling upon the original Orthodox tradition and how Constantine the founder of Constantinople was declared Emperor in the city that is now York, England.

WHEN DID THE WEST FALL AWAY FROM ORTHODOXY

The Russian Synod (and perhaps the Serbs) commemorate St. Harold, Last Orthodox King of England, and his companions who died at Hastings as a martyr.

One of King Harold's daughters married Vladimir Monomach, Prince of Kiev.
